Patent number: 11954353Abstract: In an approach to improve magnetic tape file systems through tape-to-tape copying between nodes on a Linear Tape File System using a cluster-wide named pipe. Embodiments transfer data between a first node and a second node. Additionally, both the first node and the second node implement a parallel shared-disk file system through a data path for node data reading and writing from a shared-disk and to the shared-disk. Further, to transfer data between the first node and the second node, embodiments, write, by the first node, the data for tape-to-tape copy from a first tape drive to the shared-disk, and write, by the second node, the data written from the shared-disk to a second tape drive.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2021Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Atsushi Abe, Tohru Hasegawa, Hiroshi Itagaki, Tsuyoshi Miyamura, Shinsuke Mitsuma, Noriko Yamamoto

Publication number: 20230394785Abstract: Evidence of a discrimination result of a drug can be presented, and various marks can be dealt with. A computer includes a feature extraction unit and a discrimination unit. The feature extraction unit generates an extraction mark image in which a mark appearing on a captured image is extracted, based on an output value obtained by inputting the captured image of a target drug whose type is unidentified to a trained model constructed to extract the mark formed on the drug. The discrimination unit discriminates the type of the target drug, based on a collation result between the extraction mark image and a registration mark image registered in advance for each type of the drug.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2021Publication date: December 7, 2023Inventors: Hirokazu AMANO, Tsuyoshi ABE, Naoki KITAMURA
